Test Results In!

Hi again!

I was able to get my test results back from the Doc. Can anyone tell me what they mean. All she said was that they were mildly abnormal for Celiac.

Gliadin AB: IgA= 7

Gliadin AB: IgG= 20 HI

Tissue Transflutaminase IgA = 5

I've order a test through Enterolab. Looking forward to finally getting to the bottom of this. What is DH?

THANKS!

DH is Dermititis Herpetiformis (the skin version of Celiac).

Did your Dr run a total serum IgA? The reason your IgA numbers are low could be b/c you have an IgA deficiency (some people do) or b/c they are normal. There is no way to tell without the total serum IgA number.

Your bloodwork is what my dr would call "funny" A positive IGG is not very specific, indicating it can be + for other things. Your IgA and your ttg are both "normal"; however it is possible you are IgA deficient.

My bloodwork came out simliar; I had a + Iga, a neg IgG, and a neg ttg through standard serology. Through enterolab I had a pos Iga and ttg.

One of my children had a positive IgG test, just like you; however further testing through enterolab showed a neg IgA and ttg.

In a nutshell, your compass is pointing in the direction of celiac/gluten intolerance. I would test further, or try a gluten-free diet to see if you feel any better!

i don't think that you will get a "normal" reading if you are IgA deficient----however, a total serum count would tell you for sure. one of my kids is IgA deficient. everyone else in the family either tested high (the ones with celiac) or in the normal range. ian tested abnormally low.

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.
